my 04 wrsx ppp got a royal whooping by a mk2 astra. yes i know. this yellow thing pulls up behind lights a flashing then draws up to the side. he lowers his tints and reveals he wearing a smegging open face helmet and i notice his car is caged up. i took the bait and my god he left my car standing in every gear and in high revs in fifth he pulled away like i wasnt even moving.
an f reg astra. still cant get over it, managed to pull up to him ten minutes later and find out he has 3 lt v6 twin turbo arrangement going through 4wd with direct nos and twin intercoolers HOLY SH*T guy spends his evenings baiting for evos scoobs and anything else. it's in the aberdeen area bright yellow black wheels and HUUUGE wheels arches watchout for this badboy

 

omg

 

Bit sad if his life revolves around baiting evos and scoobs on an evening. Think he needs a woman or two in his life.

Banny

 

 

LoL mate how right you are

 

Sounds a serious bit of kit that.Like to know the full spec and see it.

 

With that set up it'll shock most cars. Wonder what its cost him to get to that spec.

 

yeah he said it was a cossie floor pan mated to the shell of the astra so he could make use of the 4x4 running gear, other than that its all vauxhall stuff, is that really possible??

 

Not really, I think we all know by now that scoobs are easy beaten by many a car nowadays.

 

Like??

 

Skoda fabia vrs
Renault clio 172
Mk 5 golf gti
Astra vxr
Civic type r

Come on, you know there are probably loads more.

 

WWHHAAATT surely looking on the net shows the 0-60 times of some of these cars is no where near a scoob, clio ?? and i thought the civic type r was about 6 and a hlaf secs or somtething what kind of scoob do u drive bob?

 

Maybe true for a std WRX - but how many folk on Scoobynet have that ?

 

It won't last long, not many people turbo vauxhall V6's because they don't cool very well and melt pistons.

 

My sister's got a fabia vrs, it really surprised me, it's got loads of grunt, but can't beat my uk turbo.

Brothers got clio 172, don't exactly leave him for dead but he's got no prospect of beating me.

Had a play with a civic type r once and it was fairly even, but I hadn't had the car long and didn't exactly launch at high revs so still think I could beat one.

 

And classic's are supposed to be the quickest models as they are lighter.

 

Classic sti yes but the extra 80 bhp makes a big difference. I wasn't under any illusions what I was buying when I got my uk turbo, mines got 215bhp which these days isn't anything special, I thought about getting a civic type r but after driving a scooby I knew I was hooked.

That other manufacturers also make fast cars isn't exactly news.

See you've got a fatty

 

Oops double posting

 

Speaking abit of sh1te there id say, there is only one yellow mk2 about... and it aint no 3ltr twin turbo blah blah blah, try a 2.0 with no nitrous, or twin intercoolers

 

is this the car?

 

Me to and its 450@480 and beats all above ,

 

a clio 172 wouldnt get near my 04stippp infact i traded my old 172 in for my scoob lol...

 

The difference been, with the exception of the Civic Type R, the rest would fall miles behind when cornering, especially the VXR which doesn't turn at all.

 

Some people (Subaru drivers mainly) are soooo easy to wind up.

 

 

hahaha funny guy lol............................

 

did you ask him if it was insured properly (all mods declared)... just a hunch but i'm guessing it wasn't

 

pmsl, i like street sleepers like this

 

Not sad ******* funny. Fair play to the lad!

 

Quiet funny being as though there was a thread on here last month saying saying how crap Mk2 astra's were.......
